10 mins of M1

[rogerg]

I snapped this guy just before he went behind the trees tonight. Still during twilight, it was about 9:15.

Very happy with the results! Never have tried imaging M1 before that I can remember.

5 minute exposures, 2 LRGB and 1 for each other colour.

Oh, and the observatory roof was obscuring the telescope a bit, probably about 1/3. (pitch of the roof is to the north)

:)

Pretty good for 10 minutes..
I see your using my technique, the least amount of time exposing !.

You will be imaging this object again in a few months, i can see it.

Maybe.. in 8 months or so... but it's a little bright for my usual tastes :)

Nice shot Roger, and a great image scale as well. A shame it is low down for me, and at this time, almost in the glow of lights to my north-west.

Well done, the red parts come through nicely as well.

Wow, lovely filaments. Nice stuff Roger.

Very Nice Roger.

I'm glad we have guys like you that spend there time on the dim objects.
I have no chance imaging the real dim stuff here in Brisbane.
